Anyone up for some customs? Been wanting to try out some stuff I've been working on. I know it's probably still janky, but it'd help to know as much as possible.
Add DI Exero if interested.
Playing some matchmaking as of now.

Yeah - would love to see it reworked somehow. Maybe some additional structures and clutter. Probably wouldn't help much though, as I almost always suffer lag on that level.

It worked. Thanks! At least I will be in haven if I insult Elzar or Zalin in party chat.lol - too late. It's already been deleted from the db.

Yep, had the same thing happen. My code worked but I grabbed one for my co-op buddy and it gave him that message. Even when he used the link directly.Bleh - that shouldn't happen. Check PMs.
wtf?
Something weird's going on.
HYPATROOPA SHOWS NO MERCY.
Not sure I understand what you're saying. 'it gave him that message' - what did? The Safe Haven page, or the redeem code screen on XBL?
If you put in his gamertag, and then HE tried to put in his gamertag, it should tell him that the tag's already got a code, and show it to him. If you mean that he tried to put the code you got for him in at XBL's 'Redeem Code' screen, and it said that that code was already used... that's totally different.
Help?

I put in his gamertag, and sent him the code. When he tried to redeem it on the xbox it told him the code was already used. So thinking you might have limited it on a cookie basis I sent him the direct link to enter his gamertag, and he did but it brought back the same (already redeemed) code.
Sorry for being unclear ;P

They already reached their $100,000 goal within 2 days of the 7 day marathon. From what I heard they only reached around $60k in total two years ago, pretty crazy. Going for $250k now.

That too.

zoojoo alt confirmed.
lolwut. Guy's talking about Reach right before this.
YSG is the stuff of legends. And while not his absolute best, with the new strats/glitches he showed off, I'm confident Breakdown can hit 1:40 on meat boy. Best part of that run though was Team Meat commentating via Skype. They gave tons of insight and trivia about the game's design and their dev process.
Every time he did something impressive, the room claps, then like 10 seconds later, on Skype you hear "Shit!" or "the fuck?" or "well that would have been nice to know, lol". Good times.
And if you don't have the game already, get it! Sooooo much fun.

So the shotgun can detonate explosives too? Because one dude explode my rocket killing me in the process.

Well, logically, if the blast killed you and he shot the rocket with a shotgun, you were probably susceptible to dying from the splash on a direct hit anyway. Lag would be my guess, but you should submit to Halo mythbusters.
That's one for the Mythbusters, but it'd be pretty cool if true.

I don't like that you can detonate explosives just by shooting them. Dumb mechanic; Halo 4 has far too much randomness as it is without having someone shoot the grenade out of my hand and kill me with a lucky shot.

Been around since Reach, was in Halo 3 as well but only for Campaign.

Yes. Maybe I was too harsh and I should apologize which I will do: I am sorry for being an asshole, Toa TAK.
But at the end I fear that he could end like Zoojoo who started kinda normal and then became the annoyance in this thread.
My ranking is: Halo: CE > Halo 3: ODST > Halo 3 > Halo 4 > Halo 2 > Halo: Reach > Halo Wars.
Halo: CE will always capture me. I love the Installation, I love the missions, I love the Forerunner structures. I like ODST because it is different and still feels like a Halo game. And I do love Engineers. Engineers are awesome! Halo 3 had the best campaign encounters. I love the majority of the levels but I dislike how the story is told. But the terminals are incredible!
Halo 4 and Halo 2 are nearly on the same level. I love the cutscene in both. I love the story telling in Halo 2 more but I hate the campaign missions in 2 more than I did in 4. Halo 4 has those incredible forerunner structures like Halo CE too. That is another reason why it is ahead of Halo 2.
Reach had a lot of potential but it failed to deliver unfortunately. Halo Wars is a different story for not being a FPS.
At the end I am judging the games by the campaign. lol. I should not do that.

Yeah, I remember HawaiianPig posting pics of it happening in Halo 3 MP. (Can't remember whether it was true in Halo 2.)
Sounds about right. Seems like it happens a lot more frequently in 4, but that might just be my own personal experience.
I remember throwing grenades in the sky on Zanzibar and trying to shoot them to improve my aim. Lol

It is a lot easier to do since Reach, however
You've been able to shoot grenades since Halo 2.
I can't remember which ones are which for grenades being shootable on the ground. I think it's H1 = yes, H2 = no, H3 = yes, Reach = yes, 4 = yes?
Shooting rockets out of the air has been possible since 3.
Ricochet/bounce shots have been in since 2. A lot more surfaces started bouncing shots in 3 MP though.
Hitscan probably made it happen more.

It's cool, you were justified in being one. Sorry for being a pain.
I don't see why not, it's how I judge them. I jumped into Halo because of CE's mystifying main menu and from the first cutscene I was hooked.
I get exactly how you feel with Halo 4 and 2. They're a little bit equal in terms of the story just because of the character focus in the games.
ODST was just pure gold. The free-roam, my dreams of playing as an ODST, Engineers finally getting in the games, firefight. Bungie did a great job with that game. Different, but still Halo.
I agree completely with Reach, and it's campaign was my biggest disappointment. I think it Staten wrote it it would've turned out better. The last two missions were cool, but the characters were flat. Which is a shame considering how much they were hyped.
I never liked being able to shoot grenades or rockets out of the air. It just never felt like it was something that was ever done intentionally in actual gameplay, more of a "well I guess that just happened, sucks to be that guy" kind of thing. I'd rather those objects, along with things like the flagpole, just allow shots to pass through them.
Speaking of which, why do players not clip through flag stands in H4? Strafing across your flag spot on something like Adrift is a huge pain in the ass because you get bumped up into the air as if it were some amateur Forge map. They made it and things like the Oddball (I think)/Grifball solid, which in the Grifball's case means that when autopickup is not enabled, players can kick it just by running into it. If we can't stop that from happening, Assault using Grifball settings is one step further away.

I also don't remember ever shooting a grenade out of someone's hand in any game prior to Reach (doesn't mean it didn't happen). There might have been a thing that only let you shoot it a certain (short) time period after the grenade was thrown

You can detonate explosives by shooting them with normal bullets but the shotgun wasnt able to do that and you can only deflect rockets in prior games not just simple detonates it in mid air as far as I remember, I miss rendering clips.

I think you could snipe grenades in Halo 3, but nothing else worked, although, I'm probably wrong.

do they still do that when you have basically no health and no shield in 4? I know they did in Reach
Yep.
New Halo 5 "Grenade" type: A ROCK
Instant kill on hit

Stays on map after thrown, can be picked up again

I'm sure the tomahawk will be in the next call of halo guys, dont worry.

You guys think a rock would hurt someone in MJOLNIR?
It's a rock made out of nanomachines
They could just inject a bunch of lore into it.
